is very importaint, especially the "INTERNET" entry, this should
match your phones service. Mine is "dna INTERNET" on my phone, but the correct info for the script is "INTERNET". If you get an error about needed to subscribe to blahblah, you got it wrong!

/var/lib/YOUR_BT4_BLUETOOTHDEVICE_MAC/
-
create a file called "pincodes"
enter on one line.../var/lib/YOUR_BT4_BLUETOOTHDEVICE_MAC/pincodes

YOUR_PHONES_MAC PIN

example:
00:11:22:33:44:55 1234

-

restart the bt daemon...
user@bt~#/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

to connect issue the command...
user@bt~#pon BluetoothDialup

to disconnect issue the command....
user@bt~#poff BluetoothDialup

problems: If you have previously paired your phone in windows,
you may need to delete the old pairing,
then re-pair in BT4. Pairing will be from BT4->Phone
( accecpt request and PIN:1234 )

Re: How to connect to your phone via Bluetooth to access Internet

Hey, I found one way to get the WAP/GPRS dialing info from your phone, unfortunately it involves using a W-word OS.

Connect phone to computer and the proper drivers should install. The phone should be recognized to have DUN services.
Under the bluetooth device configuration menu --> diagnostics .. there's an option to append to a log, and then view the log after connection... through the log, I was able to find the input that I needed:

Now, I'm sure the information must be in the SIM card because I couldnt find it anywhere in the phone settings.
Maybe getting a hardware kit, like this: SIM Card Reader/Writer Kit would be much more "l33t".

Anyway, before I get burned for mentioning the W-word. Thanks for the tutorial. I wish my connection wasnt so painfully slow that its pretty much useless. It was really good way to learn how to properly bind bluetooth devices to backtrack, in any case.

Re: How to connect to your phone via Bluetooth to access Internet

Nice tutorial, I wanna try this once I can figure out bluetooth. Would you happen to know where I can change the Bluetooth pin? I was playing around with rfcomm to try make a connection to my phone, but when I tried entering "1234" it didn't connect.

Re: How to connect to your phone via Bluetooth to access Internet

I'm not gonna lie, I overlooked the second part of his post. Right after I replied I reread everything in the forum and saw that part and couldn't remove my post because first it had to be approved by the moderator. Sorry, I'll pay more attention.
By the way, I got it working by placing a pincodes file at: /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/pincodes
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn as in your BT4 bluetooth mac address. This page helped me: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/Bonding

Re: How to connect to your phone via Bluetooth to access Internet

Hi I just wanted to tell that I got this working, actually I cant pair my mobile phone with my bluetooth device. However I dont need to use bluetooth, I can use usb cable to connect my phone. I also use KPPP to connect to internet.

in gnome is a tool to connect phone using bluetooth, is there any for KDE?
